Now that the dust surrounding E3 has settled, we have some time to assess what took place and what we can look forward to in the future. Nintendo announced several new titles and showcased several more, having the largest booth to do so at this year’s event. Did you see everything you were looking forward to? Did anything surprise you?

We’re interested to know what your favorite game was this year and what you’re most looking forward to being released. Vote in our poll and then let us know in the comments!

You can tell this guy is a troll, he doesn’t even have a clue what Nintendo’s new IPs are.

Oh yay! Let’s buy a $500 system even though I can play the same game on a $300-$350!

The True Gamer

You can’t buy a game for a console with 2Gb of RAM when it’s developed for a console with 8 Gb of RAM. Also, the Ps4 is only $50 more than the Wii U, and has a 500 Gb hard drive as opposed to a 32 Gb hard drive.

barwiifan

You know what I mean. Plus Xenoblade played I think exclusively in Wii, why can’t the sequel play on wii u? Exactly, it can. Power doesn’t matter, otherwise classic games wouldn’t be fun to play today.

The True Gamer

Power matters, because without power, open world games like Fallout and Forza Horizon wouldn’t exist. Innovation exists much more on third party games on other consoles than you think. Power is needed for games that don’t have load times, and can be large enough to create immersive worlds

SinNiji

X. That was showen as clip.

RockieOllie

Is this a joke? Smash Bros. all day.

Steve Anatala

Exactly. There was no chance any other game even X was gonna get the most votes. As stated above, all great games, but Smash is in its own league with its following.

Cmon Ash… Mario Kart was second to X for me , but i’m not voting still cus X was the most Jaw dropping and exciting looking game they showed!

Edit (Holy shit I just realized I have over 10,000 votes! , when the heck did that happen lol) You guys are all awesome except for one or two individuals cough knowledge cough…. Cheers 😀

Bob Charlie

Over 10,000!

Adrian

Haha, I didnt vote either.

Magnus Eriksson

Wii Fit U is great for fat and angry people like me. People tend to like me most when im to exhausted to pick fights. I like Wii U, it makes me… tolerable.

The Clockwork Being

Good job on the 10,000 votes. Im close behind…

Tecpedz94

What are you talking about 10 000 votes??

Nintedward

We’re on Disqus which utilizes a voting system.

Hover your mouse over my Profile pic (or anyone elses) and you can see how many comments and votes they have.

MasterPpv

Smash and X are tied in my book =)

Michael DeVore

Wii Fit U was shown off… in the Nintendo Direct… as a Delayed game.

Rafael Saldana

Monolith soft X

Magnus Eriksson

Now when Nintendo have failed, wich console will you turn to? Playatation or XBox?

Kevin Sepulveda

But Nintendo cannot fail in the eyes of someone who wants to play Nintendo games because that is the only place where anyone can play them. Even if no third party supports Nintendo, (which wont happen) Nintendo will support themselves. The Wii U will remain an an option this gaming generation no matter what.

Magnus Eriksson

The famous analyst Michael Pachter showed that all that happened to the Wii U would happen. He predicted that Nintendo would stop making mediocre hardware and instead focus on making games for mobile phones. Maybe that could be something for the fans? New Super Mario Mobile. Sounds great, huh? 🙂

Super Smash Bros. and Mario Kart 8 by far. Nothing else really interested me. Pikmin was already sold for me, back when it was a supposed “launch title”. Donkey looked interesting, but I can’t help but feel that it already looks inferior to the often overlooked Kirby series, which I feel is Nintendo’s best 2D platformer game.

The Clockwork Being

how about X

greengecko007

The trailer was very OK… A lot of it was just the main character walking around. The overworld looked nice, but lots of RPGs have nice overworlds. I think the game will be good, but the trailer wasn’t exciting in the slightest.

Nintedward

It wasn’t just OK lol. I had to put a pair of Boxer shorts into retirement after that trailer had finished…

greengecko007

Wow, I love how I get downvoted for not liking the Monosoft X trailer…

In all honesty, it was very mediocre. The first 30 seconds are the main character walking toward a robot, then you have the character walking around in the overworld for 30 seconds, and lastly you have some robot flight in the overworld. Nothing exciting at all. I’d even say that the Dragon Age 3 trailer was better. At least it showed action and made you wonder what the game was about. I remember when their was a time when Nintendo fans didn’t go crazy over a video game trailer just because it showed good graphics.

NkoSekirei

the only person thats mediocre is u troll do us all a favor and keep ur opinions to ur self and dont go insulting one of the greatest game that about to come out and prove monolith knows how to make good rpg game

The Clockwork Being

Good RPG

Me:*Looks at Xenoblades Chronicles* Yep good RPG for sure nothing can be it. And its probably the best RPG on Wii

Mochlum

I hope you’re joking Nko…

greengecko007

You must be new here… I’m clearly a troll on a Nintendo fansite. Despite the fact that I’ve owned just about every Nintendo system to date, I don’t worship every game that comes out for their system, which makes me a troll.

Mochlum

I was talking to NkoSekirei, not you…

greengecko007

I know. The person you are replying to appears beside your name when you comment. Nko called me a troll, and you replied saying you hoped they were joking. I’ve no doubt the Nko seriously thinks I’m trolling, because how could any sensible person not like a Nintendo game?

Mochlum

Now I understand.

greengecko007

The trailer for X was completely mediocre. It will probably still be a good game though. But you’re right, I’m just a troll.

Here is a real trailer for an RPG that will be great. I’d suggest you watch it, but then again, why would you? It’s not a Nintendo IP, so you’ll probably hate it.

The trailer was not OK. It was great. Alot of people were hyped up about it.

greengecko007

I know a lot of people are hyped about it, and it does look like it will be a cool game. But the amount of praise it is getting from the trailer alone is absurd. Ninty fanboys saying it had the best graphics at E3? I guess so if you only watched the trailers for Nintendo games…

As far as RPGs go, the trailer for The Witcher 3 looked better in every way. Graphics were way better, the trailer was much more interesting and showed a variety of things. It even gave some story context as well.

I really liked Super Smash Bros Mario Cart 8 and Super Mario 3D World. I was so surprised when they showed these three games. The graphics looked really good like Mario Cart 8 you can see how amazing the graphics were how detailed the game looked compared to Mario Cart Wii. These three games really interested me the most all these three games looked amazing if i had to vote i couldnt if i had to choose between these three games which one was the best hard to say.

Jack5221

X !!!

iceazeama

banjo threeie!!!!!! oh wait……. that one had been gone for ages!!!!!

Antar Rodríguez

Where the hell is the “X” GAME? that was a huge trailer and for me as awesome as super smash

CharmanderRulz

Pokémon X and Y… not on the list (understandable as It’s on 3DS)
The new abe’s odyssey (Y U NO on list!?)

Robknoxious1

MK8, SMB3DW & DKCR:TF close behind.

David Noble

To nobody’s surprise, Smash Bros. takes an overwhelming lead.

Fred

It wouldn’t if X was on there!

Mr. J

I’m torn between loz ww, SSB, and Mariokart 8

Kamon

Where is ‘X’!?

awoeiudfn

WHERES X!!! WTF!!!!

NkoSekirei

yea im pissed off now seriously did x get shaft or something cause thats just wrong

They refer to the booth at E3 I think but that doesn’t change a thing on my list 😛

1) X
2) Bayonetta 2
3) SSB
4) DKC:TF
5) Mario Kart 8

Fred

I agree with X being #1

Luffy

X
Im not voting for these.
X was the best of E3, no doubt about it. (even the graphics were the best of E3)
Yet, every videogame website seems to forget it’s existence…
I simply do not understand.

Fred

I agree with you Luffy. I had never heard of Xenoblade until they showed the X trailer back in January. Now I own the game and as a matter of fact I played it last night. I can’t wait for X!

The Clockwork Being

It makes me mad the we now have two trailers of X but still people tend to ignore it only showing Mario 3D World, Super Smash and Mario Kart as the only games shown by Nintendo. I even saw a pool for best game at E3 in IGN where they put freakin Halo with a bullshit teaser instead of great games like ”X” that shown cinematics and ACTUAL GAMEPLAY

The True Gamer

Wait, you thought X had the best graphics of E3? I certainly hope you’re talking about for only Nintendo.

Luffy

nop. its the game that i found to have the best graphics.

What’s your favorite?

The True Gamer

That’s have to be either InFamous Second Son or Mirrors Edge reboot.. I’m not sure whether the Dark Sorcerror tech demo counts…that’s nearly photorealistic, but its not an actually announced game.

Luffy

mirror edge is cool, but we didnt see any gameplay footage so its disqualified as having best graphics. Dark sorcerror did look amazing, (gotta admit, this one had the very best graphics) but as you said, it was a tech demo. So I disqualified it also.

InFamous…. I’m really not in this serie, but I just want and watch a video, and while it does look nice, I am much more impress by the style and graphics of X. I guess I just prefer the style of it?

For me, Imfamous as no style, it just tries to be realistic. But let say, between Uncharted and Ni No Kuni, I find Ni No Kuni to be much more impressive.

The True Gamer

Mirrors Edge did have gameplay. It was thrown into parts of the trailer. InFamous as a game? I hated the first, so there’s no way Im buying the new one. Mario Kart 8 really, really surprised me. The only problem was the slowness of the karts, but hopefully Nintendo can speed it up once they lock in 60 FPS

Luffy

the “gameplay” of mirror edge, could have been CG. Doesn’t look like the game was far in development.
If it was actual gameplay, yeah it looked great. But I still prefer X xD

The True Gamer

No. It was gameplay. It said all from in-game engine, and the gameplay shown there was similar to other games shown at E3.

Luffy

in-game engine does not mean actual gameplay. It means it was all made with frostbite 3 engine, sure. Let’s see how that turns out at a latter date when more is release.

Being a huge fan of the Series I was excited about Mario Kart 8 as that is a game I love to play with my friends and family. I am surprised not to see “X” on there as that game looks very intriguing and I have been checking the online stores practically daily to see if I can add it to my pre-order wish list but it has not appeared.

Fred

Wait, Wonderfil 101? That’s what I wanted to vote for.

supanovaX

I don’t know about you guys but my top priority is X, and Smash Bros. Personally i don’t see why Mario Kart is second Im not trying to talk bad about it or anything but lets be honest mostly everyone was disappointed in the inside because we all thought it was going to be a double dash clone or something similar with SPECIALS oh man how I miss SPECIALS. Yes the antigravity is pretty cool but thats all to it besides the graphics. Hate to say but continuing from 7 does not got me hype about it like I wanted. Don’t get me wrong its a excellent game. Same thing goes for super mario 3d world we all expected a similarity of super mario 64 but nope nintendo doesn’t give into full account to listen to what people want from certain titles. They listen SOMETIMES but not all the time. And for a system or a game to do well the most important rule when making a game is to #listen to the consumers and what they want. Not just your own ideas cause sometimes it just doesn’t work out and the game doesn’t sale like you want it to.

The Clockwork Being

Specials is what made double dash my favorite Mario Kart

supanovaX

Me also. the action part of it kept races entertaining

The Clockwork Being

You know in my opinion the best combo was Bowser Jr with the giant spikey shell and Diddy Kong with the Giant Banana

supanovaX

Mines was bowser and toad With bowser car omg the speed of toad special to get the lead then throw browser shell special behind was the best combo. what made it so effective was bowser car with the speed plus it was heavy so when i used toad special i was just knocking cars aside to slow them down lol

Where is X? as many people have asked but also… WHEN THE HECK ARE WE GONNA STOP GETTING TEASER TRAILERS FOR IT AND ACTUAL DETAILS?! Like, oh I dunno, the name for starters?

The Clockwork Being

Well we did get gameplay footage

mojack411

We did but I would say that those gameplay bits didn’t really tell us much except that the game is going to be similar to Xenoblade in that regard, which I’m totally fine with. The two trailers released felt more like they were showing off the game’s gorgeous graphics more than anything. Some details on the story would be greatly appreciated.

would it be a crime to say that i have never played WW?, (Apart from watched a friend play it) i played all the other Zelda titles, but WW HD is on my to get list 😛

Ducked

Nah, I still haven’t played Twilight Princess. WW HD doesn’t look any different then the original WW from what we saw at E3. I know there adding some new gameplay with the gamepad, but it’s not worth $60 for all the great games coming out.

Starfoxguy

Smash Bros forever!!!!!!

iceazeama

smash bros has 420 votes turr hurr.

Yousif Alromaithi

Shame X isn’t on the list. Xenoblade was a great game therefore I vote for Super Mario 3d World. Trust me guys on this because it will be the best game on Wii U this year. Nintendo EAD Tokyo surprised us on the debut of Galaxy way back at 2007. Even more they surprised us on 3D land at e3 2011. Later on many thought 3D Land was way too overrated but I beg to differ. I thought it was the best game on 3DS at 2011 aside from Ocarina of Time being the highest rated game on 3DS. The only reason I hated 3D Land is because the game was short and could not handle the unique bosses where the Galaxy’s had. All games are good but i cannot wait to try another 3D Mario even though it is a sequel to 3D Land.

Smartass2

I don’t know why so many like smash bros. I can’t stand that game. If you want a fighter get Injustice. There is way more hours of play Mario 3D Zelda and DK. That’s what I’ll get this year.

DragonSilths

If you dont like Smash Bros you’re not a gamer. Its just that simple.

TaintedXGamer

it’s his opinion and if he doesn’t like smash bros but likes another fighting game? tough shit. Doesn’t mean he’s not a gamer. I on the other hand Love SSB ever since that day i was on a holiday staying and they had a N64, multiplayer Smash bros was gold!!! 😛 I have played Melee and own Brawl. I can’t wait for 3DS/WII U version!

Joao paulo sabino

i like all games show by nintendo and i buy all games xD
but i love Mario Kart so my vote is to you

Elem187

3D Mario games have always been amazing.. even when they were mediocre from a 3D Mario game, like Sunshine, it still destroys pretty much any other first party franchise out there on any system.
3D World looks like its going to be the very best mario game yet… (Culmination of all 3D Mario games)

DragonSilths

X was the best game at E3 PERIOD.

Matt Cameron

Why the heck is “X” not in the list?!?! My vote is “X”

NkoSekirei

yea thats wat im wondering about wheres X

Steve Anatala

Haha like there was any chance of any game getting number one besides Smash Brothers. Other games are great but come on. Its Smash Brothers.

Henri Heiskanen

Hard decision, but Mario Kart 8 wins mainly ’cause awesome multiplayer and graphics and because not so much was shown from Smash Bros. 4

MujuraNoKamen

Where the fuck is X? after all the rage we’ve been doing about sites like IGN ignoring it, I’m really disappointed to see Wii U daily blanking it. Fix it please I won’t vote until we have a complete poll- it aint a democracy if we can’t vote for the one we want.

Need more Bayonetta 2 love in here. You niggers better buy it or it could be the last mature quality exclusive Nintendo sees,

AsterDW

Why wasn’t Wonderful 101 an option?

felony211662

Must’ve left x off on purpose to get comment votes to overwhelm the poll. I’m only voting this way. X ftw!!

Yong Woo Kim

i can´t pick just one…

Cubester_64

Megaman in Smash. ‘Nuff said.

Mikeike54

How does wii party U have 0.34% with 5 votes while wii fit U has 0% with 7 votes?

ranjeybaby

this ^

MississaugaMaverick

donkey kong country tropical freeze!!!!!

Super Buu

W-w-where is X? I can’t vote when X isn’t there! I can’t… compute…..prope-ERROR

mar laguna

ok super samsh bros because its something that we all been waiting for 🙂 perfect

InterTreble

Kart 8 is the answer of an hard core gamer, SSB is the answer of a Nintendo fan… Outstanding titles. But I guess WW HD will be one of the most surprising games arriving in this season. The use of the GamePad, its story, its colors, it’s new-gen social aspects, its innovations will bring it to the top of some “Top 10” list at the end of the year. I’m sure. It won’t be a simple reboot…. (of one of the best games ever)

Before E3, who would have thought that the new 3D Mario game would end up as peoples No. 4 choice of the show? Did everyone else’s heart sink a little when the shot of Mario panned out to reveal the game world? 🙁 Fingers crossed it defies expectation!

Side note: Isn’t it a tiny bit worrying how poorly the graphics in Super Mario 3D World compare to Mario Kart 8? Not that they’re bad, but Mario Kart 8 looks “next gen” whereas 3D World just looks decent… you think they’ve rushed this game a bit?

paddle008

It’s a different art style, MK8 is slightly more realistic.

Ohsnap123

Great job, WiiUDaily! You failed to put the one game that looked better than all of the others…Monolith Soft’s “X”

Nolan ArchLord

Why is every publication out there failing to put ‘X’ on the list? Is it simply because it wasn’t playable at E3.

Shown off AT E3 or not. ‘X’ has my vote.

Kriskura

…wanted to vote X. Where it is?! ><

Lil J Moore

X was the interesting game. but Mario Kart just blew me away.

giggi

At the moment I’m most excited about Wind Waker HD since I never played it myself, I really love the Artstyle and the new Visuals and last but not least because almost all the other games I’m waiting for are either released next year or on PS4 😉

(going Sony/Nintendo/PC this time since I missed some of my favorite IPs last gen with just Nintendo/PC)

Teplán Csaba

Well guys, I made a petition for a Wii U version of Tom Clancy’s The Division. I would like to see this game on our platform, Wii U has a lot of possibility to be the best version of this game. If you think the same as me, than please support me with your Sign at change.org (it’s only 2 click) In my opinion this game can be a “Legendary” Wii U game. If you didn’t see this game, here’s a link. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O_j9uKBmUEk

andrewjcole

I have a question. I’m not trolling, I’m not being sarcastic, but what makes the new Smash Bros. different from the last? Just the new roaster?

IBlock

Heh. Roaster. But in all seriousness, I WILL say that the easiest way to transition veterans from the previous games is to make the game similar to the previous ones. Sure, you can add some new features here and there. But like I said earlier, you have to transition the veterans. Just look at CoD. Either Activision is just lazy, or they are absolute geniuses. Your choice.

Well I would say Sonic Lost World, but they didn’t show it off nearly as much as they should have. They just flashed it for like 2 seconds during the 3rd party games montage. I mean come on, how many Nintendo fans REALLY prefer Bayonetta over Sonic? They’re both SEGA IPs so there really was no excuse for not showing the game off more.

Louie

I’m not voting until I see X on that list.

IBlock

Man, there are a lot of X’s down there.

IBlock

Man, there are a lot of X’s down there.

Zuxs13

I would say X. I don’t care for any of the others except Zelda and Mario Kart. But I do think bayonetta was an awesome pick up for Nintendo. Now if only they would do that with Shadow of Eternals then id would start to get excited about the line up.

TrueWiiMaster

I would have voted for X but…

Rainbow Dashing

X was the best!

Out of the list provided I would have to say smash bros.

$39063977

for some reason i can’t wait for Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze. haven’t played a DK game since the SNES days (other than the old school arcade ones).

The True Gamer

This article says Nintendo games, but Pokemon X and Y isn’t on the list? Sure, it’s Wii U daily, but….Nintendo games do include 3DS
